I think I’m one of those users who tries to support people who are just starting out on Ecency.
I say this because when I enter the Global section instead of only looking at the people I follow or specific communities, I often come across posts from users I may not know yet.
I’ve also noticed something: taking the time to read a post, connect with what someone has written, and then leave a comment doesn’t necessarily mean that gesture will be noticed. Sometimes, it simply gets ignored.
I’ve also come across communities where, if you don’t read the rules carefully, your post can end up being muted. For someone who is just starting out and has very limited resources, that can be quite a setback.
Obviously, we’re always going to interact more with things that attract us or that we feel connected to. We can’t connect with everything.
Even so, in the short time I’ve been part of Ecency and Hive, I’ve honestly rediscovered a part of myself that I had somewhat forgotten: that desire to share my passions, my thoughts, and my own perspective on things.
And there’s something I tend to do quite often 😅: I try to upvote the comments people leave on my posts, and I also tend to start following their profiles.
Maybe that’s my way of saying: “I read you. Thanks for stopping by. Now I’d like to know a little more about you.”
Perhaps that’s also what being part of a community is about.
